Emergent organization and polarization due to active fluctuations
Benoît Mahault, Prakhar Godara, Ramin Golestanian
Abstract
A general model of self-propulsion with active fluctuations is introduced. It is shown that such a nonequilibrium noise source qualitatively modifies the organization of self-propelled particles in activity landscapes, as well as their collective dynamics in the presence of quorum-sensing interactions.
